Wherin I am an apathetic voter...or non-voter

Yesterday was Michigan's primary. What a joke the Democratic ballot turned out to be.. Idle threats from the Democratic party of pulling all of Michigan Democratic delegates, Presidential hopefuls Obama and Edwards pulling their names off the primary ballot all because Michigan moved up it's primary date. They're acting like a bunch of middle school children. What a bunch of whiners. I guess I should not be surprised They have never really been the party of hope and self reliance. They exist through whining, fear and making people feel guilty.

This is the most disconnected I have ever been in a major campaign year. Did I vote yesterday? Nope. I guess you could say I'm an undecided voter...or uncommitted. But I do have a philosophy that Senators, those who are already inside the "beltway" make for bad Presidential material as opposed to Governors. Unfortunately none of the candidates, on either side, appeal to me. Maybe I've lost my passion for politics or maybe I have become wiser in my distrust of politicians and government. Still, I must say I shudder at the thought of being preached at by, and seeing her on my Tee-Vee for 4 years...:

In all the talk I 've overheard, of people discussing candidates, there are good ways and bad ways to choose a candidate for President...most are dictated by logic....common sense plays a role too. Some of the reasons I've heard of why people are choosing candidate X over candidate Y are just plain don't make sense. Like these:

Voted for Hillary because she's a woman

Voted for Obama because he's Black

Voted for Huckabee cause he's a evangelical

Voted for Romney cause he's Pro-Life

Voted for Mc Cain cause he's a Veteran

None of these, None, have anything to do with a persons ability to govern or run a country and frankly I'm sick to death of religion, color, sex, sexual orientation, military status and a whole plethora of other non-qualification qualifications being used as campaign fodder. None of them have anything to do with a persons ability to be President. All of these are based on your and my emotions about a particular issue. It's just an idiotic way to vote, based upon your feelings, for a President. Nor do I think that anyone just plain "deserves it". None of them do, and we deserve better.
